Racism scandal around German cycling coach after comment about ‘camel drivers’ | Cycling

sport">“Get the camel drivers! Get the camel drivers! “shouted the coach. Moster wanted Arndt to increase his pace and catch up with his predecessors Azzedine Lagab from Algeria and Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier from Eritrea.

sport">The German TV commentators immediately denounced the comments. Afterwards, Moster, who has been employed by the German federation since 2012, was immediately put to the test.

sport">“I was encouraging Nikias. In the heat of battle, I chose the wrong words. I’m really sorry. I can only sincerely apologize. I didn’t want to discredit anyone. We have a lot of friends with North African roots ourselves, so like I said, I’m sorry.”

sport">The German Olympic Committee has also responded to the incident. “It is important that he apologized immediately after the game,” chairman Alfons Hörmann. “We will personally talk to him and deal with the situation.”
